That is a beautiful conversation, Lovemydd! Congratulations! She gave really productive and realistic suggestions. She is remarkably self-aware and organized in her planning.
Always a pleasure to work WITH your child, rather than plot to deal with them, lol.
You said she is having trouble controlling her impulses. I think Deacongirl makes a good point when she says how tiring it can be to control one's impulses all day at preschool! It sounds like she actually does have great skills at school, but it may be very tiring!
From another formerly wild child: some discipline and clear boundaries can actually be a relief. It is also great when the parents are on the same page, both for the kid but also for the parents' relationship. Good luck finding approaches that work for the whole family. The first (or only) kid gets to help parents clarify all this!
So happy for you that you have some ideas about your schedule and that you have such a great way to communicate with your kid!
